Additional Information

the Aircraft "Biofather" TF.Mk-X — improved version of the aircraft "Biiter" Mk-VIC engines "Hercules". Although the original "Biiter" X was just the Mk.VI other motors, and the party MkVI (ITF) was later upgraded to standard MkX replacement motors, during the production of this type continued to evolve, acquiring some exceptional features, characteristic only for this modification. AI MkVIII radar used in the later "Baiterek" VIF was suitable for the detection of surface targets and was adapted for the "Biiter" TF Mk.X, denoting a new swing of the pendulum in a constant war electronics. German submarines by that time, got the sensors to detect the appearance of the aircraft of Coastal command, including early "Biiter" X, used ASV radar worked in the meter range.

the "Beaufighter" X usually operated with a crew of two, but it was provided for the placement of the third, located behind the pilot and helped to aim the torpedo with the help of a gyro-angle device. Together with the radio altimeter, this device allowed "Bofayteram" to work at very low altitude, going on the attack at the level of the tops of the waves after the position of the target was determined by the reconnaissance aircraft. Using this tactic, "Batytery" X-Coastal command from the beginning of 1944 has entered a new period of hostilities. The first wave armed with missiles of the "Bohaterow" suppressed anti-aircraft guns defending the convoy or the ship to the main attack; the second wave then attacked with torpedoes, and in the end all planes participated in the attack, using rockets and guns.
